Utensils you'll need:
Muffin tin
Saucepan
Blender
Strainer
Bread knife
Paring knife
Spoon
Silicone ice tray
Materials:
1 medium watermelon
Prosecco
2 packets of gelatin
6 limes
1 tablespoon sugar
Method:
Halve the limes along the long axis using the bread knife. Using the paring knife, cut through the flesh of the limes in the center as you would for a garnish, being careful not to cut the skin. Using the spoon, dig the flesh out of the limes from the center cuts away from the stem. You should probably save this in a bowl and use it for other things. Once you have 12 empty lime halves, place them in the muffin tin.
Juice half the watermelon in a blender (cube it first for best results; the bread knife is great here). Strain one cup of the watermelon juice into the saucepan. Sprinkle the sugar and gelatin over the watermelon juice and let it sit; now is a great time to make yourself a watermelon bellini (1 part watermelon puree to 2 parts Prosecco).
Heat the mixture in the saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. Pour in one and a half cups of Prosecco. Mix; once it stops bubbling, pour into the lime halves. You'll have some extra; pour that into the silicone ice tray. Refrigerate for a few hours until set.
To serve, you may want to section the lime halves so they resemble watermelon slices. Bread knife again! You may also want "seeds" - black sesame or slivered chocolate works here.
